An Ant’s Exploration is a speculative design project in which an ant explores through touch, moving in small steps. This exploratory process acts as a metaphor for the creative one, where knowledge is built through close engagement with an invention, paying attention to every detail and progressing step by step, courageously, until it is understood as a whole and opened to further possibilities.

Here, creative exploration is expressed through the act of touching and observing from a different, close-up perspective. The ant explores an abstract form that may be interpreted as a vehicle component, a garment, a human prosthesis, or an invention. Just as it was conceived by its creator, it is discovered by its viewer: carefully, attentively, and through gradual exploration.
